India posted a mammoth 240/3 against West Indies in the third and final T20I at the Wankhede Stadium.

Explosive West Indies batsman Evin Lewis however was injured while fielding and had to be stretchered off. Keemo Paul came in as substitute fielder.

In the 12th over, Lewis, while fielding at the boundary jarred his knee while running to his left and his left foot got stuck into the ground as he made the final stride towards the ball.

Lewis was taken to the hospital for scans and later a BCCI statement said: "Evin Lewis unlikely to bat. Has soft tissue damage to right knee which will significantly restrict his ability to run between the wickets."

Lewis is unlikely to take part in the remaining part of the match. In place of Lewis, Brandon King came out to open with Lendl Simmons.

The three-match series is level at 1-1 after India won the first game and Windies came back to take the second.
